While most businesses are adept at identifying and mitigating risk, climate change is one high-risk area that is often overlooked.

Climate change-related weather conditions can severely disrupt the supply chain – whether by disrupting transport or impacting the availability and cost of raw materials. In addition, new regulations can force businesses into entirely new operating models.

Savvy American business leaders are now incorporating the impacts of climate change into their business strategies in three key ways: by adjusting for risk, exploiting opportunities, and implementing mitigation and adaptation policies.

This behavior marks an important shift in the stance of American business. Understanding these three key strategies is critical to competing in today’s business world, especially for those companies most impacted by risks associated with climate change.
